TITAN BOOKS TO ROCK WITH TENACIOUS D!

Publisher Secures World Rights to Tenacious D Film Companion

Publisher Secures World Rights to Tenacious D Film CompanionWhen Jack Black (School of Rock, King Kong) and his musical compadre Kyle Gass get together they are none other than Tenacious D, the “self-proclaimed” Greatest Band on Earth! Having already taken the music world by storm with a self-titled hit album, chart-topping DVD sales, and sell-out tours in the US and Europe, they are now poised to rock Hollywood to its very core with the first Tenacious D movie, Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny from New Line Cinema.

Titan Books, a leading publisher in the categories of film, TV and popular culture, is proud to announce their exclusive acquisition of the World English Language Rights to the greatest Tenacious D movie tie-in book.

The yet-to-be-titled book, currently scheduled for release in October 2006, will serve as an outrageous adults only companion to the forthcoming film, offering a fully-illustrated guide to the comedy rock duo, as told by Jack Black and Kyle Gass! Packed with colour photos, script extracts, and extensive bonus features, the new book promises to be as foul and fun as “the D” themselves.

Titan Editorial Director Katy Wild says, “This is a great acquisition for Titan, and is an essential part of our ongoing strategy to capture the market in quality entertainment publishing.”

Titan Editor Adam Newell is also more than a little excited to be working on the book: “I worship at the feet of Tenacious D, so this is a dream come true. Be they angels? Nay, they are but men, but they ROCK! It’s about time the D came down from the stage to hit the page!”

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny will be released theatrically in the 3rd Quarter 2006 by New Line Cinema. The film reveals the origins of the greatest rock band in the world when Jack Black and Kyle Gass embark on an epic journey to possess the Pick of Destiny!
